Elementary Science:Online, Interactive, Standards-Based

Science in First Grade

Students are asked to use their imagination to try to answer questions about what they know and to come up with their own ideas of how things work.

First Grade Science Overview

In our first grade curriculum, students will be revisiting topics that were previously explored as well as exploring new topics. Physical Science gives the students the opportunity to grow their understanding of everyday objects and how they work in our daily lives. In the Earth and Space Science lessons, students will receive the foundation to develop an understanding of the Earth. Life Science activities will expand on what the students’ learned in kindergarten about plants and animals by focusing on the characteristics of living things and the diversity of life.

What science teachers are saying…

I used to be a little apprehensive about teaching science because I never felt like I had the right tools to catch my students’ attention in a way that they would be able to understand the material. Now that I have used Science4us, I know just how excited they are to watch the catchy videos, play the interactive games and explore all of the activities on the site. It makes it fun to teach science skills. Overall, my students seem more excited to do science activities. They ask me all the time if they can watch the video segments over again.
